Death and Awakening

-Rumble!

On a glorious field of mass destruction, a single scarred figure stood bloodied, with a never dissipating smile on his face. In front of him was his old pal... the leader of the greatest cult in history, the one with a strength of 10,000 men, with a fire that burns everything in its path...

The heavenly demon

"Ha ha ha... damnit what... are you made of... Yoichiro?"

He was panting with even more severe wounds than the man named Yoichiro, he had a look of madness in his eyes with a hint of sorrow. His red eyes were practically camouflaged under the puddle of red blood on his face.

"Ha~ guess you'll never know will you Jin?"

"Hahh... fuck you too."

Jin, the heavenly demon, just looked as Yoichiro didn't even pant under all the pressure he was exuding he simply smiled like it was a foregone conclusion.

Jin dropped to the ground and pulled from god knows where a bottle of sake zapped into his hand.

"Could I... have some?"

Yoichiro asked, with a raised eyebrow Jin smirked.

"Hmm? Yeah... sure~"

He dropped some on Yoichiro's wounds who clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Come on man... that burns."

"Screw you, you burned down the cult take at least this much."

A serene silence followed, and Jin broke the silence while he still had time left on his life.

"Why... why'd you do all this. Won't you at least tell me it all ends here anyways."

"...Sure."

"For real!? We asked you a million times and Suzune asked you what? Half of those times?"

"She knew my reason..."

Jin was not even surprised if there was anyone Yoichiro trusted with even in the darkest corners of his heart and mind it was Suzune, his wife. He was more surprised the socially inept Suzune could act so well and for so long.

"I see... then tell me now."

"...Did you know heaven in this world was falling apart?"

-Cough

Jin coughed up a bit of blood from both surprise and his unsurvivable wounds.

"Wha-"

"Since you know of my origins from my original Earth that's fine, but I didn't tell you that heaven was doomed to fall to this Martial Earth and destroy it did I? Jin, you are... were, my best friend but I couldn't live with knowing that my best friend was going to die by natural causes. If you were to die in any manner it would be my hand...

Sames goes for Suzune and that old man."

"Yoichiro... You CRAZY BASTARD! And Suzune that bitch she always goes with your fucked up whims. So you're telling me you killed everyone and everything even your wife just so we wouldn't die from a natural cause we weren't even warned about?"

When Jin called Yoichiro's wife a bitch he sent a burst of death energy, but Jin just cancelled it out. There was another, more uncomfortable silence.

"Was there... no way to stop it?"

"...No even if we used all the true qi in every cultivators dantians to try it wouldn't budge it a bit. Trust me did you think those steps that shook the heavens were actually mine? I simple fused myself to the source to keep track of the time."

"...I see. Yoichiro, one last thing..."

"What?"

"How did you see the heavenly demons' flames, it shouldn't be possible for your orthodox path."

"I didn't I simply set my plum blossoms ablaze effectively recreating it and then made more to fuel it. Technically... it surpassed your flames."

"...That's total bullshit you know?"

"Trust me... you don't know the half of it..."

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha!"

The two crazy men laughed for a long time until the two became one, and laughter... became sobbing.

On the bloody battlefield with tears streaming down his paralyzed, smiling face Yoichiro picked up Jin and buried him near his wife and the Old master of the neutral faction.

-Crackle

-Boom

He covered his face, with thick tear droplets down his face until he felt windbreak and his body began to burn bud needless he continued to smile and cry. Before the heavens hit the ground, he spoke.

"Goodbye..."

...

In a bright golden room, two maidens descended down on pegasi, horses with beautiful and majestic, angel-like wings.

Near a golden gate, a man stood calmly while taking in his surrounding, then raising a figure he was about to question but then one spoke.

"Welcome brave warrior to Valhall-!"

One of the maiden warriors looked up and down a notepad and realized something.

"Oops you're in the wrong place, my bad let me send you to the place next over."

The man felt a soul-sucking presence and was wistfully pulled to another place... over and over again.

Each time in a different place, some called hell, heaven, Valhalla again, the Summerlands, land of reeds, another heaven (too many heavens), and more until finally, it ended up in a place of leering darkness.

The man's soul finally stopped moving and he looked up to see two yellow eyes as large as planets looking at him. In it, two pupils enlarged and an" ethereal and childish voice rang through this abyss.

"Wow, wow they finally sent me another toy!"

"...Who are you?"

"It talks?... me? Hi! My names Timmy, nice to meet you~"

'Who unironically names their kid Timmy or is he messing with me?"

"Hey... Timmy so where is this place?"

"Here? Umm... this is home? Where else would this be?"

"Alright then where is home?"

"I don't know if I should tell you, mommy said not to talk to strangers."

The soul, Yoichiro, tapped his glabella a few times and got no response.

"Okay then... what are you going to do to me?"

"I don't know, most toys don't usually talk when they come here..."

'Interesting detail.'

"Tell me talking toy-man what do you want to do?"

"Me?"

"Yes who else silly hehe."

'It's kind of cute not even going to lie.'

Yoichiro has a soft spot for kids, so not knowing what do to, maybe he just became super lucky and met a true god-like being.

"You asked what I want... can you revive my world and friends?"

"Hmm... no, not to my knowledge that's not in my domain."

"Then what can you do kid?"

The giant eyeballs just shifted around looking up and down in this darkness as if in thought.

"Umm, I can create stuff basically anything but not living things."

Yoichiro was disappointed but he never really like relying on luck, he just moved on to thinking about other things. Still confused about this life-after-death situation. The yellow eyes just stared at him until finally it got impatient.

"Gahh! Forget it I'll just see what you want!"

"Wha-"

Another force pulled Yoichiro and then he felt the revival of all his memories more clearly. After he became immortal in one of the many 'heavens' his memory became eidetic but his memories before that time had become blurry. But now he was remembering his past life as a complete fiction nerd, and the time of around a hundred years he spent to become the strongest on the Martial Earth.

"Oh, wow~ you've lived a fun life mister hmm~."

Yoichiro was reliving moments of his life, but his brain processing speed without the qi energy was far slower than Timmy's.

"Wow~ that seems like fun, I have a great idea!

Yoichiro! How about I send you to one of the worlds you watched back on your original Earth! I know where it's located after all. The transmigrator in question just gathered himself and asked.

"What? To where?"

"I'm thinking of sending you to the world of that show... One Piece!"

"W-wait I didn't decide on that."

"Ehh, it's fine, isn't it? You're just a toy after all... okay how about a compromise?"

Yoichiro was taken aback but he really was not in the mood to argue, he knew he didn't really have a choice anyway so he nodded. He also wouldn't mind an adventure to get his mind off things...

"Alright! Then I'll give you three wishes as long as its something I agree with."

Yoichiro nodded and racked his brain he remembered this story that he read until the time skip happened but there was only so much he could think about, so he decided to test the waters first.

"Can you give me your powers?"

"No"

"An all-destroying ability?"

"Nope"

...

"The ability to see destiny?"

"NO!"

...

"How about my old powers?"

"NOOO- actually, that can be negotiated."

"Negotiated?"

"Yep~"

"Like how?"

"I can't bend the laws of that world because I'm not the owner that's another creator, but I can make your abilities suit that world a bit more."

"I see but wouldn't that be mostly aesthetics, I can imagine my plum blossoms to be from a devil fruit, and the use of haki can certainly replicate our martial techniques but I doubt it would be of the same power..."

"You're right it won't be and the laws don't allow it but guess what?"

"...What?"

"Deal with it."

Yoichiro behind his smile was ticked off immensely but he contained his bloodlust and sighed.

"Fine..."

...

The two beings talked for a bit tweaking the details of the abilities until they finally figured out the perfect mesh. It turned out a bit self-fulfilling to his weeb side but Yoichiro always lived life the way he preferred, and he wouldn't stop.

"Aaaaaalright! That's all done you ready Toy boy?"

"Shush, I'm older than you Timmy. Respect your elders!"

"Well... actually your not."

"Wait wha-"

"So looonng make it fun for me to watch okay?"

...

-Thuder!

In a basket under the rain a young boy with a strangely designed black coloured pupil and a blue iris. His eyes carried a strange sense of intellect in them, and a baby that would usually be crying in this uncomfortable weather was laughing in a cute manner.

In his mind he celebrated,

'Yes! I'm back!'
